This increases the contact time between coffee and water, allowing for sufficient extraction with a smaller dosing. Furthermore, the minimal variation in coffee bed height ensures consistent results even when the dosing amount changes. Additionally, the wider contact surface with the filter creates a cleaner cup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCONSISTENCY ㅣ AIR CHANNEL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe UFO DRIPPER V3 utilizes air channels instead of the traditional rib structure. This reduces the filter from adhering to the wall and maintains stable airflow during extraction. As a result, it minimizes clogging or shaking, enabling more consistent extraction. The air channels help maintain pressure balance during the extraction process. Water flow remains stable, providing consistent extraction that is not significantly affected by external variables.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTHERMAL STABILITY ㅣ BPA-free, Ecozen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brian Quan","offers":[{"title":"UFO V3 Blue Only","offer_id":53762825879736,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"UFO V3 Blue + Blue Switch","offer_id":53890702180536,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"UFO V3 Blue + Type F Filter [50 Pack] 02 Size","offer_id":53762825912504,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/6007\/9288\/files\/1AF29B71-F6D1-452C-8DC9-E4D17443B0D2.jpg?v=1783975031"},{"product_id":"blue-melodrip","title":"Blue Melodrip","description":"\u003cp\u003eMake sophisticated coffee and appear even more sophisticated when brewing with the Blue Melodrip!

Think of an equalizer showcasing various parts of the coffee\/processing and in this case highs vs. mids. In my brief tasting with the folks at Tanat, we found a split between what we all liked. I personally like the Waved version because I love vibrant acidity but I know many of you would prefer the Non-Waved version for this specific coffee. I think more testing is required on various types of coffees, processing, etc. to see what the machine really does but it is interesting to see this type of device exist. Overall, this is a fascinating direction that we're starting to see producers and competitors head in and I'd love to know what you guys think about the taste of the coffee. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brian Quan","offers":[{"title":"Waved + Non-Waved Set 100g","offer_id":53905096376504,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Waved 50g","offer_id":53905096409272,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Non-Waved 50g","offer_id":53905096442040,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/6007\/9288\/files\/17412E96-6BC1-4275-8827-39AEF3548E3C.jpg?v=1786669698"},{"product_id":"mame","title":"Rested: MAME Competition Expressions - Geisha","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10% off when you buy 3 or more together! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm happy to be collaborating with my friends at MAME (Zurich, Switzerland) to feature these amazing coffees.
